I have taken a series of time lapse photographs. Is there a program free or otherwise that will assemble them and show them rapidly?

Mac - Imovie does this.
PC - I believe Windows Movie Maker does this.

VirtualDub will turn a series of photos into a movie. Available for free for PC and Linux

There is a free program called photolapse: http://home.hccnet.nl/s.vd.palen/
I've not used it, it is supposed to be quite good I think. I use Adobe After Effects which is great and you can try for 30 days from the Adobe website: http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/

Quicktime Player.

File -> Open Image Sequence -> Set frame rate
File -> Export into whatever format you want.

ETA: That's Quicktime Player 7. The new Quicktime Player X doesn't open image sequences.

Thanks all that has been helpful.

I am planning to get an iMac soon, does anyone know if photo software comes with the mac or will I have to splash out on Photoshop.
